GRIPPE RILLS MORE PEOPLE
Than Small I'o.v, Ycllozo Fever,

disease. Ask your Doctor.
Thousands die in every epi
demic of la grippe like the pres
ent one at.d thousands die every
year afterward from some weak
ness of the system lejt over from
la grippe.
Grippe is little J eared because
it is little understood.- Its work is
hidden often does not appear
even to the practiced eye of the
physician.
A genuine hard case of la
grippe scarcely ever leaves a sound system.
The germs of la grippe are the smallest mic
robes known, yet they generate a toxine poison
of the most virulent character.
La Grippe is in the air. You don't have to be
exposed, as in other contagious diseases. The
germs of la grippe are everywhere at present.
In one week the wave of infection crosses a
continent. A nation is infected as quick as
one city. You cannot escape la grippe by iso
lation. You breathe in bacteria in every breath.
Grippe can be Cured 'by Foley 's Honey and Tar.
This is guaranteed.
Grippe can be Prevented by Foley's Honey and
Tar. This is guaranteed.
Foley s Honey and Tar reaches the root of the
disease. It destroys and eradicates the germs
of la grippe. It puts the system on a plane to
resist and expel these microbes.
Foley's Honey and Tar, by absolutely curing
la grippe, leaves no loophole for future lung
trouble, throat diseases, stomach disorders and
fatal organic troubles.

She Hadn't.
There is n young lady vrho has a lit
tit private school, ani the other day
she overheard the following conversa
tion among her pupils:
It was .Monday, and one of them had
evidently been much impressed with
her Sunday school lesson of the day be
fore, for as soon as another little girl
;ame in she astounded her bv the an
oouncement, "Yon are my sister."
"I'm not." said So. 2.
"Yon arc," said Xo. 1. "Haven't you
got a Father in beaven.-
"es," grudgingly.
"Well, have I. Don't that make
you my sister?"
Iso. 2 was entirely nonplused at
that and No. 1 correspondingly victori
ous, so when another little girl arived
upon the scene she announced as before.
Yoo are my sister."
isow JNo. 3 happened to be a yoncg
lady of a very determined disposition.
and she declared just as firmly that she
was nothing of the sort, and the "I'm
nots" and "Yon ares" flew very fast
for a minnte, until No. J brought out
her knockdown argument, "Haven't
you got a Father in heaven?"
But imagine her chagrin and the
teacher's nmusenirnt when the other
sputtered forth: "ICo, I haven't, and
yon know it. I've just got one grand
father up there, and strode on to her

Knowledge of the Death of Mrs. Joseph
Rosenfield Sought.
Joseph t. Kosenheld, of Chicago, a
son of the unfortunate police otlicer,
Joseph Kosenlield, killed while on
duty in this city in 1879, is here, lie
comes to Rock Island to ascertain some
thinsr in reirard to the death of his
father's first wife, whose demise oc
curred in January, ltb. The city
death record extends back onlv to
1878, so that he cannot obtain the in
formation from that source. The
proofs of death which he seeks are
quite important to him and he would
in consequence be glad if any one ac

know. He can be reached in care of

A MILLION MILLION.
Hon Insects Hide From Enemies.
How many have ever noticed the
skillful way in which many insects dis
guise themselves when in danger from
some larger animal or bird? Probably
yon nave all observed that the caterpil
lar "plays dead" when he is disturbed,
and that many iusucts choose for their
I homes some tree or shrub whose bark or
foliage matches themselves in color.
There is a certain variety of moth,
quite common arouud elms, which fixes
its wings so that they closely resemble
spots or lichens on tho bnrk of the tree
and can only be detected by a trained
eye. Another moth, whose principal
colors aro pink and yellow, arranges
itself en the blossom cf a primrose so
as to wholly escape notice. In the East
Indian islands I '-sere is a spider which
reposes on the upper Eide of a large leaf
in such shape that it perfectly resem
bles decayed matter.
A hunter in tropical regions tells cf
eemg a cricket pursuer! around the
trunk cf a tree by a lizard. Suddenly
the insect settled itself in a small de
pression in tho bark, spread out its
wings slightly and flattened itself eo
that the lizard actually crawled over it
and went away without ever knowing
what bad become, of it. Lewistou Jour-

Three Minerals.
Iho Chicago Chronicle says that n
teacher in one of the local schools was
instructing a class cf small children in
mineralogy the other day, endeavoring
!o make clear to their young minds
what a mineral really is. Standing be
fore them, she began in her clear voice:
"A mineral is an inorganic,- homogene
ous substance of definite, or approxi
mately definite, chemical composition,
found in nature. Do yon understand
me? Come, now, yon all have seen
minerals, and your mothers and fathers
have told yon the nanioa of them,
haven't they? Of course thev have.
Now, can any one tell me the names of
three minerals?"
There was no response, and she con
tinued, "Have not some of yon been
out and seen minerals on exhibition?"
One little girl raised her band. "I
thought so. Mary will name three min
erals." Mary arose and, putting her
hands behind her, lisped:
Apollinaris, vichy and selers."

Professor Wagstaff, whose very came
ruggests a pleasing first cousinsbip to
Shakespeare, has lately been amusing
bimself and his audience at Gresham
oollege by speculations as to what might
have happened if the father of onr ha
man race bad given up delving and
taken to figures. Let us suppose that
Adam had set bimself to count a mil
lion million, or, in figures, 1,600,000,
000,000. We will imagine that he could
count three in a second, which, though
not exactly rapid ciphering, will be
found ample, if taken continuously
Now, if 6,000 years have elapsed since
the gracious amenities of Eden formed
the crartlo or humanity, Adam would
have been working for 189,1; 16, 000, 000
seconds and have reached a total of
567,648,000,000 figures. In other words.
his task of counting a million million
would still have been unaccomplished
by over four hundred thousand millions
digits.
All of which coes to prove what?
There are many possible conclusions.
The first is, of course, that Professor
Wagstaff is a very ingenious and by no
means melancholy mathematician, Due
that hardly needed proof. A second de
duction, which wo advance with all
humility, is that if Adam had only had
habitual recourse to harmless dissipa
tion of this arithmetical kind, instead
of betraying marital weakness and a
fondness for fruit, his descendants
would have been very much better off
morally and spiritually, though not
perhaps in material comforts. And a
third conclusion, eminently gratifying
to those who refuse to believe that there
is any serious discord between religion
and science, is that Professor Wagstaff,
no doubt a man cf distinction in scien
tific attainments, accepts without any
demur Bishop Utsher's chrouology.
According to the divine, the world
was created in 4004 IS. C, and that
added to tho J 898 years which have
elapsed since, the Christian era makes
in round numbers the 6,000 years on
which the whole calculation depends.
Somo wayward "scientists" have dog
matically affirmed that tho world has
been wagging along a good many more
centuries than Ussher supposed, al
though there is a serious difference, it
is true, in this matter between the as
tronomers and the geologists. So, after
all, perhaps if Adam had been reason
ably industrious, ho would have bad
time to accomplish his task, unless bis
brain bad given way under the strain.
Mot-t of ns have such vague ideas as to
the meaning of large -figures that it is
as well to be reminded by so happy an
illustration how many tinits go to the
making of a million. The only other
conceivable fashion in which such in
struction could bo acquired is to become
n Seuth African "boss" of mines and
diamonds, and that process, much as
we may desire it, is, fortunately or un
fortunately, not open to the majority of
ne. London Telegraph.
But when an honest man 65 vears
of age, and who has lived in our city
for 30 years and owns his own prop
ertv, sleaks. we must, civeear to his
words and have faith in what he rec
ommends. For that reason we nul-
lish for the benefit of our home peo
ple the statement of H. West, 211
North street, Saginaw, Mich., as fol
lows: "Mv back was verv lame, was
quite nervous at times and my geuer
al health was seriously impaired.
Some time ajjo I was induced to try
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, of which I had
heard a great deal, and I procured the
remedy. 1 bad not much faith in it.
as I previously had tried a large num
ber of kidnev pills and kidney reme-
d;es without any particular benefit,
but I want to say that I got simnly
wonderful relief within two days after
commencing the use of Kid-ne-oids,
and that I am now entirely cured.
I rejrard mv case as a severe test of
the medicine, as so manv others had
failed to help me. Mv advice to kid
ney sufferers is to give Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
a thorough trial and find relief
as I did."
Mr. West had no faith at first, bu
the assurance of his friends induced
him t try once again. I he result is
given above. Let Mr. West be your
friend, and if veil suffer with bach-
ache, sleeplessness, nervousness, etc.
take his advice and use Morrow's Kid-
ne-oids and ret cured. Mr. uest is a
grateful man and will be glad to write
vou how much he was benefitted bv
the use of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, if
you will enclose stamp for reply. Do
